Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 383: Awarding of Honors in Nanjing

Tang Qiuli didn't know what these senior officers under his command were thinking. He only knew that when they heard the news that he was going to Nanjing, these guys, without their monkey-like cheers, almost shouted three times on the spot.

He could only smile bitterly. These guys must be complaining that he is too demanding on them. They have such high positions, and they are still playing the same tricks as the big-headed soldiers. He believes that in the near future, they will be here this time.

During the training camp, I realized the benefits.

He was not worried about this urgent return to Nanjing. Maybe there would be good things waiting for him? He put together what he had done in the recent period in detail, and the more he thought about it, the more confident he became.

Mei Ting couldn't help but smile and leaned on his shoulder. She was infected by his emotions and felt relaxed. Mei Ting had an almost superstitious trust in Tang Qiuli.

Letting go of her heart, Mei Ting's naughty side was exposed, and she kept teasing Tang Qiuli, making Tang Qiuli dumbfounded. This girl, four years older than herself, looked like the little girl next door.

A very young lieutenant general, a beautiful colonel, and a special plane pilot who have transported many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but have never encountered such a striking pair. Looking at the deep love between them, it is really enviable.

Mei Ting burst into smiles. Shanhu and the soldiers of the special guard have become commonplace and have considerable immunity. Seeing this couple starting their accustomed routine again, they all turned their heads away or closed their eyes in amusement.

Do nothing.

But this is the first time for these two pilots! It’s also because Mei Ting is so attractive, her bright youthful aura is breathtaking, and her dashing and heroic appearance also has the unique charm of young women. The two pilots

I kept looking back and paying attention, but luckily I was in heaven. If we were on the highway, the chance of a car accident would be extremely high.

The plane flew over the Central Plains. Even in winter, the plains of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were still green and lush. When they landed in Nanjing, seeing Mei Ting's beautiful figure, the two pilots felt that they still had unfulfilled feelings. Perhaps, this was the first time in their lives.

The most enjoyable flying experience ever.

The person who came to greet Tang Qiuli was Yang Yongtai, the Secretary-General of the Military Commission. He was an old acquaintance. This man was full of youth. He was obviously newly promoted and high-spirited. He was also a vested interest in the Xi'an Incident. He was in Xi'an with Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.

The detained civil and military officials were reused or promoted after they escaped safely, and Yang Yongtai was one of them.

During this meeting, Tang Qiuli felt that Yang Yongtai was obviously less low-key and restrained than when they first met in Luoyang, but more tactful and resourceful. Without too many pleasantries, the motorcade drove directly to

Direction to the Military Council Building.

In the car, Tang Qiuli asked Yang Yongtai implicitly about the purpose of Chairman Chiang's urgent summons. Yang Yongtai smiled enigmatically and did not answer, which made Tang Qiuli's heart itch like a cat scratching him.

, I wish I could order Shan Hu to put this guy to death immediately so that he could tell the truth.

Entering the Military Commission Building, Tang Qiuli was a little dazed. There was a red carpet on the floor, flowers on both sides, and a military band playing there. It was so lively. On both sides of the long corridor were military police wearing white armbands. It was really exciting.

The formation should be for some kind of celebration or something.

Tang Qiuli was a little angry. Just because of this ridiculous activity, he called me back without telling me what it was about? It made me think blindly all the time. Wasn't this intentional?

When we arrived at the hall, there were hundreds of high-ranking civil and military officials, and the generals were shining brightly. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in the middle saw Yang Yongtai walking in from the outside accompanied by Tang Qiuli and Mei Ting. His eyes lit up, and his thin face revealed

With a slight sincere smile, he took the lead in applauding.

In an instant, the hall was flooded with torrential applause. Tang Qiuli woke up a little. Could such a big scene be prepared for him?

Mei Ting, who was beside her, was even more shocked by this scene. Now, she and Qiu Li had become the protagonists. The eyes of the whole audience were staring at the two of us, especially Chairman Chiang. She suddenly regretted and

Qiu Li walked in in such an intimate manner. To be precise, he was a little shy.

Fortunately, Tang Qiuli kept holding her little hand, otherwise, Mei Ting would have the urge to turn around and run away.

After the applause subsided, Chairman Chiang said in Mandarin with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent: "Okay, the great hero of our party and state is back. Secretary-General Yang, can the ceremony begin?"

It turned out that this was a ceremony specially held for Tang Qiuli. The telegram urgently recalling Tang Qiuli was written by Yang Yongtai. On the way here, when he saw Tang Qiuli looking confused, Yang Yongtai

Yongtai was secretly happy that he could tease this young man. Of course, this was very well-intentioned.

At the ceremony, Tang Qiuli was awarded a Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun, a first-class Medal of Baoding, a first-class Medal of Yunhui, and was awarded three first-class medals of the Republic of China at the same time. This is unprecedented and has never happened before.

, absolutely unprecedented, even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has only received two first-class medals, Qingtian Bairi and Baoding, so far.

Chairman Chiang personally placed three medals on Tang Qiuli. Immediately, the spotlight of the camera flashed dazzlingly like stars in the night sky. A large photo of him wearing the three medals will appear in various places in Nanjing tomorrow.

I wonder what He Yingqin would think after reading it in a big newspaper?

In fact, as soon as Chairman Chiang returned to Nanjing, he learned more about Tang Qiuli's performance at the Central Standing Committee meeting, especially after reading the minutes of the meeting that day.

"This is a wise saying!" He praised it greatly.

Mrs. Chiang rarely saw the cold and taciturn Chairman Chiang lose his temper like this. Knowing that his sincere appreciation and love for the little guy reached the extreme, she did not miss the opportunity to add a few words of icing on the cake. She could not forget what Tang Qiuli had done.

She bluntly expressed her dissatisfaction.

This further strengthened Chairman Chiang's determination to reuse Tang Qiuli. He was the only one who had made contributions to the Xi'an Incident who did not make any demands on himself, and was still working hard at the front to deal with the aftermath of the incident.

Could it be that God gave me such talent as Chiang Kai-shek?

Whether he likes Tang Qiuli to stay in Luoyang or not, and he intends to let go of the 300,000-strong army, he just wants to see the ability of Tang Qiuli, who has just turned 20, to lead an army. This is also a comprehensive consideration for him. Tang Qiuli

All actions in Luoyang were reported in detail by Chairman Chiang's cronies.

In Chairman Chiang's view, every move of this young man is mature and prudent but does not stick to established methods. He finds new ways, such as the general and officer training brigade, which is a pioneering work and deserves to be promoted in all troops in the ***.

He dealt with soldiers who violated disciplines and replaced officers who neglected their duties. He was decisive in killing, clean and tidy, and never sloppy. He was a good material for leading troops in war. The more he thought about it, the more Chairman Jiang felt that Tang Qiuli was very suitable for him. If it weren't for his age,

The difference was so great that Chairman Chiang even wanted to exchange posts with Tang Qiuli.

This is the second time that Chairman Chiang has admired someone much younger than him. The first one was Zhang Xueliang. Thinking of Zhang Xueliang, Chairman Chiang felt depressed for no reason, "Han Qing is confused!" I hope Tang Qiu will be like Han Qing.

, do something treacherous and unethical.

After the investiture ceremony, Chairman Chiang personally announced an order: "After discussion and approval by the Military Committee of the Nationalist Government, the Northwest Bandit Suppression Headquarters has completed its historical mission and has been officially revoked. The former Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Bandit Suppression Command has been

Army Lieutenant General Tang Qiuli, commander of the 29th Army of the Army, commander of the North China ** Division, and Army Lieutenant General, will serve as the First Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government from now on."

There was another burst of applause, and the spotlight dazzled Tang Qiuli. He secretly thought about his official title, the first vice chairman of the Military Commission, and the other vice chairman should be senior Feng Yuxiang. His ranking.

In front of him, so to speak, he was the second most influential figure in the Republic of China after Chairman Chiang Kai-shek?

Zhang Xueliang once had this kind of scenery. After the change of the Northeastern regime, China achieved nominal reunification. Zhang Xueliang served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force of the Republic of China. However, this has become a thing of the past.

My status and that of Feng Yuxiang are not the same. Ever since the Northwest Army was destroyed by the old man, Senior Feng has only taken on a false position, while he has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands and his own territory, which is a resounding real power.

group.

However, Zhang Xueliang's example serves as a warning. Chairman Chiang is not allowed to transfer him away from the North China Army. In that case, it is better to leave Nanjing as soon as possible, a place of right and wrong, and return to his own three acres.

Dividing the land and killing the Japanese is a serious matter. What is wrong with being an official? Killing people in vain!

Tang Qiuli was secretly vigilant and listened carefully to Commissioner Chiang's announcement of the next order. If he was really transferred out of North China and came to Nanjing to serve as the First Vice Chairman of the Generalissimo, he would run back to North China tonight. It would be better than staying with Zhang Xueliang.

Son, there are people in *** who think you are strong.

Chairman Chiang read out the next order: "The Military Commission of the National Government passed the discussion and decided to establish the Northern Branch of the Military Commission and the Yellow River Basin Theater Command. Lieutenant General Tang Qiuli, the first vice chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government, will also serve as the Northern Military Branch.

Chairman of the Committee, the post of commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command will take office with immediate effect."

Tang Qiuli was a little confused, my dear, how much authority does this have?

The Yellow River Basin is a broad geographical concept that theoretically covers all the provinces north of the Yangtze River. It almost covers the territory of the northern provinces, including Henan, Shandong, and even a little bit of Hubei and Jiangsu. This authority is huge.

That was a veritable king of the north, a strength that could rival the Nanjing government.

Tang Qiuli giggled. This position was his favorite, and it was also the most in line with his strategic vision. If the Japanese invaded China from north to south according to their original plan, the Yellow River would be their natural barrier to stop the invasion. It was vast.

Let’s water the northern land with the dirty blood of the Japanese and make it more fertile!

Chairman Jiang continued to announce the third order. Tang Qiuli was a little dumbfounded. These good things happened one after another, and the old man didn't even say hello in advance. Did he deliberately cause me to have a heart attack and raise my blood pressure?

It’s strange, why does the old man trust me so much? Isn’t he afraid of raising a supercilious wolf?
